The Clark Soccer Club’s travel program is focused on providing an opportunity for the youth of Clark, Winfield and Garwood to participate in a healthy, competitive soccer environment. Through this environment, the Club strives for players to develop their personal potential as well as their soccer potential and for each participant to:

Learn the value of teamwork and self-discipline

Develop proper attitudes towards competition and sportsmanship

Gain self confidence through improvements gained from hard work

Experience personal and team success and let down

Enjoy the game of soccer at a higher level of competition

The travel program consists of both boys and girls teams are formed based on birth year. Teams can continue to participate in the travel program through U19. Travel teams up until U13 are formed through a club wide try-out process held each spring. To try out for a team U13 or older, please contact the coach directly to arrange an opportunity to try out. Teams are coached and managed by volunteers but also employ professional trainers to assist in training sessions.

Participation in the travel program is a large commitment on the part of the player and parents. The program is a full year program with the exception of the summer months. Players must commit to both the spring and fall season to be placed on a team. Teams typically practice two nights a week for 90 minutes and play one game on the weekend. Often there is indoor winter training held between the fall and spring season.

The Clark Soccer Club is an affiliate of the Mid-New Jersey Soccer Association. As such, Mid-New Jersey is the primary organizer of all games for the travel program. The club teams in the past have also participated in the EDP Future program and Jersey Area Girls Soccer. Participants of the travel program can expect to play other teams that are affiliated with the Mid-New Jersey Soccer Association located within the Central Jersey area. Travel time to games is typically no more than one hour from the Clark area.
